1.0 out of 5 stars don't do it, June 13, 1999

This review is from: Hostage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a Sam Neill fan I am sorry to say that the film is barely worth the stock it is printed on. The problem seems to be directorial, since actors such as Neill and James Fox, whom we know to be capable of excellent work, seem to be sleepwalking through most of their scenes. Talisa Soto, while nice to look at "runs the gamut of emotions from A to B" (thank you Dorothy Parker). There is no discernable spark between her and love interest Neill, even during a "hot" tango-driven love scene. This is a suspense/thriller with neither.
